PACKING AND DISPLAY BOX FOR NECK-WEAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 386,807, dated July 31,1888.

Application filed April 13, 1888. Serial No. 270,515.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB H. FLEISOH, of New York, in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Improved Packing and Display Boxes for Neck-\Vear; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in packing and display boxes usedto hold and exhibit neckties or similar articles.

The object of my invention is to provide a pasteboard or wooden box forthe retention in spaced position of neck-wear, which will also servetoexhibitanumber ofsueh articles prominently, the box unfolding to exposeby extension of interior connected trays a series of neckties arrangedthereon and secured temporarily thereto.

With these objects in view my invention consists in certain features ofconstruction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafterdescribed, and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective of myimproved packing and display box with neckties in position therein. Fig.2 represents an end view of the box in nearly closed adjustment of itstrays, with the lid removed. Fig. 3 is an end elevation, in sect.ion,ofthe box and contained trays with its lid in place on it. Fig. 4represents the box closed. Fig. 5 is a view of one of theattaching-clips.

A is the body of the box proper, and B its lid. These are preferablymade of pasteboard of sufficient thickness to insure strength andability to resist a reasonable amount of rough usage. The box with itslid is best suited for its use if made rectangular, as shown, the depthbeing sufficient to afford room for displaytrays, which will now bedescribed.

There are two trays, G D, of equal size,which is such relatively thatthey may be neatly inserted within the outer shell or box, A. The traysO D are of equal depth, which is proportioned to the thickness ofneck-wear to be secured within them that such articles will not beimproperly compressed. One lower side edge, a, of the tray 0 is hingedby a stout muslin strip, b, or other preferred means to the ad- (Nomodel.)

jacent side edge of the box A, this tray being inverted,so that theneckties E,securcd within it,will be supported slightlyin contact withor near to similar ties, E, which are removably attached to the innersurface of the box A. Upon the opposite lower side, 0, of the tray 0 themating edge of tray D is hinged or flexibly joined to permit a swingingmovement of these attached parts, the tray D being thus adapted to foldupon the tray 0 and have its outer lower face in contact with thesimilar bottom surface of the tray 0, the hinge'joint between thesetrays being made of any suitable material sufficiently flexible for thepurpose. The side walls of the tray 0 are of such a proper depth inproportion to the whole depth of the box A that when said tray is foldedwithin the box its free edges 0 will abut upon the offset projections d,which latter rest upon the bottom of the box A, and thus provide astable support for the tray 0, as well as the superimposed tray D whenthese are folded together.

\Vithin the box A and connected trays O D the clips F are secured. Theseare arranged at spaced intervals, and consist of sheet'mctal stripsstamped into form to afford clamping fingersf, that may be bent over thenecktie at proper points, so as to support them in line and permit theirready removal by straightening the bent fingers sufficiently to releaseatie When it is to be withdrawn from the box or a tray.

The clips F have tongues g stamped out of the sheet-metal body of each,said tongues being sufficiently spaced apart on each clip to allow themto enter slits made through the bottoms of the trays and box A and befolded or clinched against the opposite side of said bottoms, so as toretain them in aligned posi tion thereon. Any convenient number of thesetrays may be employed, the box A being suitably increased in depth toaccommodate any addition to the number of the trays herein named, which,together with the box proper, will hold six neckties and show them toadvantage. This size may be preferred, as it is convenient to handle andarrange for a display of the neck-wear it contains.

The packing-box just described is particularly available for the displayof neck-wear in bulk in windows of retail merchants or on theircounters, as by unfolding the trays G D after the lid B is removed theties will be attractively exposed to view, and the box with attachedtrays may be set upright in a zigzag po 5 sition, so as to remainotherwise unsupported to show their contents. 7

I do not wish to restrict myself to the exact form of construction ofthe clips F or the box and trays, as slight modifications of form may1:; be made within the scope of my invention;

20 other within the box, substantially as set forth,

2. The combination, with a box, a series of trays hinged together attheir adjacent edges, so as to be folded one upon another, one of theend trays being hinged to the side of the box,

of a retaining-elip attaohed to the bottom of 25 each tray and to thebottom of the box, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with a rectangular box having shoulders therein anda series of trays hinged together at their adjacent side edges, one ofthe end trays being hinged to one side edge of the box, so that thetrays can be folded one upon another within the box, of clips secured tothe trays and box, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwosubseribing witnesses. 7
